Chukwu who sent his congratulatory message to Adeniyi in a statement in Lagos on Tuesday, stated that this election signposts the Nigeria Customs Service as a very credible customs administration.
“This is a very positive and encouraging development for Nigeria in the global customs community and it comes with responsibilities. It signposts the Nigeria Customs Service as a very credible customs administration”, he added.
He maintained that the customs boss did not land this job by being complacent and lazy adding that Adeniyi had by a dint of hard work earned the country a lot of respect and recognition in the global customs community, urging him not to relent in his resolve to modernize and bring the NCS at par with its peers across the globe
“This recognition is not only for Adeniyi, it’s for Nigeria because any appointed or elected position outside the country is for the citizens. I thank the Nigerian media for even promoting him and his activities in the last two years which I believe helped in facilitating his emergence as the WCO Council Chairman.
“Whatever that made him to reach there is God but now it’s for Nigeria because a lot of people are going to benefit from this position that he is holding now. So, we thank God for his elevation, it is a position that he has worked hard for and he deserves what he got.
“On behalf of the entire members of the Save Nigeria Freight Forwarders, Importers and Exporters Coalition, SNIFFIEC, I wish him a successful tenure at the WCO Council”, Chukwu concluded.
